TABLE OF CONTENTS:

The Author's Introduction
(sample excerpt)

    I present you with a systematic approach to create greater health and happiness.  Whether you eat animal-flesh, vegetable and fruits, either cooked or living, this book is relevant for your evolution, both personally and globally.
    The book before you is a contemplation of nearly eight years work as a Holistic Practitioner, Clinical Nutritionist, Certified Iridologist and Shaman.  Oftentimes in its early stages, I would refer to the Raw Conscious Evolution as a personal guide based on clinical success.  Over the years, I have dealt with curious and chronically ill patients, each with various diets (i.e. animal-flesh, vegetarian, vegan, raw foods, etc.).  Health is an organic process, both relative to an individual and universally applicable.  Knowledge is only a portion of the journey toward well-being, because someone with knowledge may choose not to apply it.  Understanding the steps involved for an individual's health evaluation and recovery is one of the successful abilities I have refined over the years in this natural health field.
    Since 1994, I have worked with clients "reeducating" them on the fundamentals of natural and healthy living.  When I delved deeper into the understandings of true health, I found many misconceptions and falsehoods professed by so-called "qualified professionals."  Through research and practical experience I came to recognize that many of these opinions were based upon personal belief systems and/or institutionalized philosophies.  What appeared to be true within one methodology was full of contradiction when viewed from a grander perspective.
    My greatest strengths are recognizing and applying universal Truths so abundantly expressed by our Creator through the creation called Mother Earth.  Lao Tzu (a Chinese Sage or Teacher) would refer to it as "The Great Tao of Health,"  a process of enlightenment when one aligns with the natural powers and teachings of the natural world.  These Truths may be physiological, psychological, emotional, mental, or spiritually based.  They are time honored and clinically proven methods for assisting all people. 
    I chose to keep this book relatively simple, condensed and non-intimidating to the beginner and intermediate seeker of health.  I have quoted and cited several wonderful scholarly authors.  Many of them have inspired my own Journey.  It is my heartfelt intention that you will be exposed to a broader spectrum of essential Truths than you have experienced before.  It is also my intention to empower you with the knowledge to recognize these Truths and embody their teachings effortlessly.  To stimulate your mind with intellectual material is not enough; allow a conscious experience of and participation in these Truths to assist your evolution. 

    The title for this book: The Raw Conscious Evolution, represents many things.  "Raw" relates to a natural state of pure, unrefined, organic, untainted, alive, and as wild as the earth from which all life manifested.  In a non-food related sense I regard raw as the essential naked potential and underlying Truth inherent within all of Creation.  The term "Conscious" reveals the level of awareness with our environment and the acknowledgement of the consequence (good or bad) that occur resulting from our thoughts, words, actions, and all living Beings upon Mother Earth.  It is not enough to understand intellectually, we must accept our influences and role in the micro and  macro ecosystems.  An enlightened Being is conscious of his/her surroundings, acknowledges all life as sacred, remains present, and accepts full responsibility for his/her reality and the consequences of chosen actions.  To walk with "eyes-open" is a profound and enriching way to be in communion with life.  Lastly, "Evolution" summarizes the totality of the positive choices we make personally, socially, globally, and spiritually;  truly, it is part of the divine plan.  I was born with eyes that were open early enough to witness these wonderful dynamic expressions and processes of life.  As my livelihood and diet caught-up with the rest of my vision, my journey of a conscious evolution received Divine validation.  I now feel honored and blessed to share this knowledge with you.

    I would like to explain the intention behind the progression of the Raw Conscious Evolution.   The unfolding of this book begins with describing the idea is and assumptions surrounding health.  The reason being is that all of our concept perceived the actions we take.  Therefore, I believe it is essential for the reader to have an understanding of the concept and belief systems that have brought about our present knowledge or preference for well being.  Once the perspectives are revealed and dressed, then the reader can best understand the information I present later in this book.  Think of it as a way to build momentum for receiving knowledge and attaining Wisdom.  By preparing your intellect to now accept these new possibilities, you will be more likely to believe and benefit from this Wisdom I will share with.  Through describing emotional and physical challenges that may arise when improving your current diet , you will be better prepared to face those challenges and succeed with your short-term and long-term goals.

    When I use the word dis-ease, my intention is to distinguish it from the medical term disease.  Medical doctors are in the practice of diagnosing disease and prescribing pharmaceutical drugs to suppress or eliminate it.  Based on my experience, I did not acknowledge the existence of disease.  I do acknowledge whether body is in ease, or whether it is in dis-ease. This may seem like a small distinction, yet their meanings and legal implications are different. From a medical standpoint disease is something that enters the body from the outside.  It is often considered an attack on the body itself.  I have come to recognized that an unhealthy lifestyle will create dis-ease.  A healthy body is not a suitable environment for illness. Therefore it is your internal quality of health that determines the "ease" or "dis-ease."  By understanding this, it is imperative that you except the responsibility for what occurs to your body.  Ultimately you are effected by choice, and rarely a victim of a consequence.

    My history of health began early in life as a child of only two years.  At this very young age, I had an operation for diverticulitis (bowel pockets) and my appendix.  Normally no one would think that a child that young could have developed a severe intestinal condition.  Usually it develops over decades to eventually create illness.  When I mention this condition many people are shocked!  The early and accelerated nature of this condition reflected a predisposition which I inherited through my family genetics.  The ramifications of this condition throughout my life were not only confusing and discomforting for me, they were outright embarrassing.  From my earliest recollections, I had suffered from emotional ups and downs, irritability, anger, anxiety, constant bowel gas, severe constipation, irritable bowels, inflamed hemorrhoids, sinus congestion, teenager acne, etc. 
    Between the ages of 7-19 years I suffered with severe migraine headaches that occurred 3-5 times weekly. these migraines were so consuming that they kept me nauseous, bed-ridden, and in extreme pain for 10-36 hours.  Now that I am a natural health practitioner, I understand why prescription medications did little to alleviate the pain.  Initially, I found that when I induced vomiting the nausea would lessen.  Allergy tests gave little indication of what the root causes were.  Our family doctor encouraged my parents to take me off chocolate and substitute with carob products.  The carob Easter bunny candies were not as pleasing as the readily available chocolate treats.  Yet I was in enough discomfort to recognize that for things to change, I must change. 
    Another additive decorated intense reactions was mono-sodium-glutamate (M.S.G.).  Before removing this additive, both my father and I would get very sick.  My whole family decided to eliminate M.S.G.  Aside from these basic modifications, the rest of my diet remained unchanged.  Unfortunately our family was still eating the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.).  This S.A.D. program mainly comprised of non-organically grown animal-flesh, hybridized and refined wheat four, dairy products, refined sugars, (with no concept of food combining), and preserved foods packed with artificial additives.  How could we have know any better, our diet matched the diet of mainstream Americans. 

    In high school and college I was an active athlete enjoying cycling, soccer, cross-country skiing, nautilus training, dancing, and other recreational sports.  When exercising I felt good; when I was inactive my body felt thick, gooey, and sluggish.  The active lifestyle I pursued required me to replenish my body with ample nutrition.  At that time, I looked around at what my athletic peers were eating.  The choices of food where not very creative lots of pasta (carbohydrates) and animal-flesh (protein).  Truly, the diet was no better than that for someone who was not athletic.  The only difference I remember was that we athletes ate larger quantities food.  Why would I even consider questioning these preferred foods when my peers appeared healthy and successfully active?  I had a muscular build and good endurance.  This diet seemed acceptable for me too.  Neither my coaches nor I discussed the issues of nutrition at any length.  As a result, I consumed massive quantities of the acid-forming and nutritionless foods found in pasta, animal-flesh, refined sweets, and sport power bars.  The combination of a nutrient deficient diet and competitive activity resulted in depletion of many vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids (EFA's), electrolytes, metabolic enzymes and countless other vital resources. 
    My acidic cellular environment resulted from competitive activity, uric acid build-up, and lactic-acid crystallization within muscular tissue.  Aside from the intense activity I imposed upon my body, I unknowingly still had severe intestinal constipation over two decades after my infant operation.  Either of these issues would have caused stress within my body,  together they brought about muscular pain and bodily illness early in my adult life.  As these symptoms and conditions developed, I again looked around me and found similar conditions in my peer group.  Although the conditions were not enjoyable, I thought "they must be normal."  By the time I was in my mid-twenties I had very fine, thinning, and brittle hair. This too, I thought was a natural characteristic of aging.  Although I wanted to keep my youthful looking and longhair, was unable to do so.  Eventually I was forced to shave my hair to a half inch in length.
